The Art of Management: Business Has Much to Learn from the Arts
The Economist
Share
Artists routinely deride businesspeople as money-obsessed bores. Or worse. Every time Hollywood depicts an industry, it depicts a conspiracy of knaves. Think of Wall Street (which damned finance), The Constant Gardener (drug firms), Super Size Me (fast food), The Social Network (Facebook), or The Player (Hollywood itself). Artistic
critiques of business are sometimes precise and well targeted, as in Lucy Prebble's play Enron. But often they are not, as those who endured Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story can attest.

Women at the Drawing Board
The New York Times
Share
It started a month ago when I was asked to compile a list of twenty designers who will influence design in the next decade with Paola Antonelli, senior design curator at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. After weeks of emailing ideas to and fro, the list was nearing completion and we scoured it for possible omissions. One worry was whether we had included
designers from enough disciplines, especially the new ones, that will be increasingly important in the future. Another concern was geography. Though we soon realized that we didn't need to worry about one issue, which has traditionally bedeviled such lists. There was no shortage of women.

Censorship or a Mirage?
Inside Higher Education
Share
Allegations of censorship at Pratt Institute have set the conservative blogosphere awhirl with what appeared to be a delicious reversal of the common narrative
of artistic suppression: an art school, not a horde of prudish philistines, had banished the politically charged work of a student who wanted to use art to challenge prevailing liberal, not conservative, norms. But Pratt says there has been no censorship, and the burgeoning artist in question, a fifth-year student named Stephen DeQuattro, is scheduled to exhibit his work alongside three other students' in April as planned.

"My monkey could have painted that."
Really?
Psychology Today
Share
People occasionally look at paint splattered on a canvas in a gallery and say, "My child could have painted
that." Or, among eccentric pet-owners, "My monkey could have painted that." How much better is abstract art than work by kids and monkeys? New research reveals the answer.

$40 Million for Arts Education Threatened in Federal Budget Fight
Los Angeles Times
Share
Federal funding totaling $40 million for the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts' educational programs, arts education grants for the disabled, and grants to train arts teachers are just some of the arts-related programs on the chopping block as Congress and the Obama administration wrangle over how much to cut the 2010-11 federal budget. The cut was
included last week as President Obama signed a temporary budget resolution designed to keep the government operating through March 18 while the White House and congressional Democrats and Republicans continue talks to reach a final budget agreement.
